The Tenets of Robustism

---

Being robust requires a certain way of life. It's not about luck, it's about control. Control yourself, control your environment, control your opponent.

Don't be clicked
Don't give your opponent the chance to click on you. That which cannot be clicked, cannot be robusted.

• Move randomly. Hammer the movement keys like you mean it.
  
• Don't wait for your opponent to come to you. The aggressor holds the advantage.
  
• Don't stand still.
  
• Don't let people stand next to you.
  

Not to say that the wiki is gospel, or even right about all things, but sprinting during encounters is generally a good way to avoid getting clicked, even with the advent of special attacks that help deal with people moving quickly/unpredictably. A quick sprint-dodge can be the difference between getting hit by a taser bolt or not. But, naturally, doing this will make you more vulnerable to tasers and batons.

Besides, being at half-stamina won't change the fact that one baton swing connecting will generally mean that a second one will connect immediately after, due to how Disorient messes with your movement. You could avoid sprinting everywhere, but being at full stamina when someone hits you with a baton or taser will only give you a tiny window to run or retaliate - a window of time that's generally too small to do anything useful. "Not sprinting" doesn't change the fact that two taps from a stun baton will generally put you on the ground.
